NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is standing behind former Knicks’s great Charles Oakley, calling on team owner James Dolan to answer for last week’s infamous altercation.
A video posted to social media showed Oakley appear to shove Madison Square Garden security guards before they pulled him away from his seat during the first quarter of the Knicks’ game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
Sources say the former fan favorite refused to leave, and instead hit one employee in the face with a closed fist, causing swelling to the face.
